Dear IMPRI Well-Wisher,
Greetings from Team IMPRI!
We hope you are safe and well.
As the catastrophic second wave of COVID-19 subsides in India, it remains imperative to follow COVID-appropriate behaviour in the form of wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining physical distance and avoiding crowds and gatherings. With Delta Plus being declared a 'variant of concern', and a third wave an imminent possibility, it is crucial to not let our guard down, even as vaccination progresses.
The newsletter will apprise you of the upcoming events, the week's publications, and videos of last week's #WebPolicyTalks in case you missed them.
Wishing you well for the week ahead,
Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
